Bruh wasn’t even here for one generation and he was ready to be an expat! 😂

We need at least a decade reprieve from ALL immigration. All illegals deported by whatever means necessary.

Luckily I've never been desperate enough for “companionship” to look for it in Columbia. Never been *nearly* desperate enough in fact.

In my world it’s still Burma, and Pluto is still a planet.

There are some youtube videos where some dude explains how bad it is there, and gives advice on how to more efrecrively stay safe when dating there. He explains what to,watch out for- lots of scams there as the people in the poorer areas there are desperate and turn to crime .

Brazil can be pretty bad in Terms of scam crime too I guess- anyplace can be really, but some are pretty notorious for it I guess

Columbia is a fine place to visit. Just do not visit Colombia.

I thought Columbia was supposed to be safe now and one of the top expat destinations for retiring like a king.

The Latin American paradises are always on the edge of dystopia, no matter how great they look in the brochures.

I’ve decided that history stopped in 1997 for me.
I will only read books from before then, and watch movies before then as well.
